Can someone post the Stock recovery if they have it. If they have it maybe we can create 0PCVIMG.zip to restore and possible get our semi bricked phones unlocked.

Hi there,
Not long ago i got a P970 and proceeded to root it and install CWM on my device using an all in one solution from this site, unfortunately it didn't seem to create a backup of the stock bootloader and i am unable to perform updates to the device as they all try to boot in to the stock bootloader to finish the update process which is ofc missing, does anyone have a copy of the stock bootloader for the P970, incase its of relevance i'm using one in the UK on the Orange network
I thank you in advance for any replies
Bump anyone got a copy of the bootloader?
If you flash stock vanilla rom it will overwrite CWM with stock.

Couple of small issues is that i dont want to lose everything i've installed and setup so far and the only images i can find of the stock ROM's are .kdz files which use the LG tools to flash and those require me to be able to boot to the standard software update tool found on the phone which doesn't seem to work with CWM installed as i can't do any OTA updates either.
dude, I already answered to you by pm. this cannot be saved, you have to flash again to recover the standard loader. AND, you don't have to boot or something else except going in s/w mode. just backup your apps / datas with 3nd party app then restore them after the flash. standard recovery is absolutely uneeded and is even useless. you might restore full datas with cwm by going into the advanced menu.
Hello,
I was wondering, if i simply restore to a backup i've made of my stock rom with CWM, and un-root my device, will i have my warranty again?
or does that need extra steps?
Thanks

Dear friend only restoring stock rom backup and un-rooting your device will not entitle you to warranty.You have to also remove CWM and restore it with stock recovery or ur warranty will be void.
You must flash an entire pure stock ROM with Smartflash, it will wipe everything, including recovery. See related threads in dev section.
I have a very similar situation, I need to get back to stock for warranty purposes. I installed CWM recovery using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
I made a backup of my stock rom after installing but before installing SU. So I can restore that backup, since I hadn't installed SU yet, does that mean it would have still been unrooted and if so is there just a simple way to remove CWM recovery? As I don't know what my original stock ROM was so I wouldn't know which one to flash. Would this just work to get rid of CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
EDIT: NVM i just ended up using smartflash.
Hello, I have been searching through forums to find out how to install the clockwork bootstrap and a custom Rom, i came accross a question i can not solve.
Since the CWM is only a bootstrap and is located in the system partion and it is not possible to restore from it if your phone goes into a bootloop then does it also not erase the orginial recovery? Basicly my question is if i get the CWM and a rom will I be able to restore back to the orginial stock OS without bricking my phone? As far as i understand i can because the bootstrap doesnt touch the recovery partion? If this doesnt work is there any other way that i can restore back to stock if i brick/get bootloop???

First, try the linked thread above. Second, you can use the stock recovery (Vol- + power) to do a factory reset. If that doesn't work, you can always reflash a .kdz file.

Do it like muellersmattes sayed. If that doesn't work, you have to flash the stock firmware aka .kdz file.

Go here, scroll down to nandroid backups, and find yours. There are two, one unbranded, one for Optus. Since you're running cwm, you can flash these backups and they should return you to stock.

I used CWM to sideload another rom, and now Im back on GE rom again.
and I download the Nandroid backup and copy into my internal memory, loaded into CWM then went into back n restore option, but just cannot find the find the zip file so cannot do the restore back to stock at the stage? so was wondering any particular folder I need to place the zip file so the CWM can regonise?
thanks.
